Since the Dems are not seating delegates, what keeps a Dem from going over to cast a vote for McLame?

It isn’t the same, Neil. I doubt the story...and even if it did happen, I am sure it isn’t happening all over.

When I moved here I was registered Independent. And I was mad as hell when I found out I couldn’t vote in a primary.

So I switched to Republican.

Vote Romney.

If they think “the fix is in”, they are IN FOR a huge fight. “Movement conservatives” are not the sort who roll over and play dead under any sort of phony “unity” banner. Those days are sooooo OVER!

In northern Coral Springs, near the Sawgrass Expressway and Coral Ridge Drive, David Nirenberg arrived to vote as an independent. Nevertheless, he said poll workers insisted he choose a party ballot.

Some FReeper needs to go to that polling station and straighten those poll workers out. Oh, and tell them they are being watched on the Web but the BIGGEST forum on the Net.

They check your registration, and if you’re registered Dem you’re given a Dem ballot. Republican candidates are not on the Dem ballot, and write ins are not allowed.

(nobody was in line to sign in for the Democratic vote.)

Could be because Florida rat votes won't count this time, unless Hillary gets to change the rules,.

Here’s more for your repertoire from the disgruntled leftists in Mass who complained last May in the NY Times about their vote for Romney:

NY Times thecaucusblog/Comments section [Mass. voters talking about Romney on May 11, 2007]:

“.. he stated that he supported gay rights, but then attempted to have a Constitutional ammendment added to the ballot to have gay marriage banned in the state. ..”

“I firmly believe that he’ll ‘change his mind’ and go agree with his base if he’s elected just like he did on the abortion right’s issue. ..”

“.I will never forget when he vetoed the stem cell legilation after the bills’ sponsors had worked so hard at generating bi-partisan support. And he vetoed the bill ...”

“...If you want to know what Mitt is really about, please try to find his speeches to the Federalist Society to see what he’s really made of. ..”

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com

11/10/2005 Mitt Romney addresses the Federalist Society
http://www2.nationalreview.com/corner/romneyaddress.pdf

*

What is the Federalist Society?:

“...the Federalist Society, the expanding network of conservative lawyers who over the past quarter-century have played a leading role in reshaping the nation’s judiciary and setting high-level Republican administration policy. ..

[...]

“..One of the group’s founding fathers was Edwin Meese, who would soon become attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Olson was part of that Justice Department, and so was Giuliani, who served as its third-highest official. The plan was to sow talented conservatives at every level of the federal judiciary and ultimately gain a foothold at the Supreme Court. “That was very much on our minds,” Olson said.

It appears to be working as planned. When he took office in 2001, Bush leaned heavily on Federalists to create a legal power structure to continue the work of seeding the judiciary. Roberts, along with fellow conservatives Alito, Scalia and Thomas, now form a formidable bloc on the Supreme Court.

[...]

Split among GOP camps

But as the Federalists have grown, they haven’t been immune to internal fissures. Federalists have key figures in both the Romney and Thompson campaigns who believe their candidate is a more worthy vessel for their legal philosophies. And they say they haven’t had to make the sort of compromise that Giuliani’s conservative supporters have.

David McIntosh, a former Indiana GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate, is vice chairman of the Federalist Society, and he’s a domestic policy adviser to Thompson. Douglas Kmiec, another high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department, has gone with Romney, whom he calls “authentic.”

Romney appointed homosexual activists to the bench in Mass. No sale.

Primary day voting begins for South Florida

Now I can plug my phone back in.

7-8 calls a day for the past two weeks has been a bit much. Yesterday hit an all-time high with 12 calls.

Still left the phone plugged into my DirecTV for caller ID just in case someone important called I could call them back on my office phone, but didn't have to put up with the ringing.

FREEP that comments section. I left 2 comments there protesting the fact that Coral Springs poll workers allowed an independent to vote on a Republican ballot.

I'd hold my nose and vote for Mitt. In this case, it's a case of preferring the devil you don't know over the one you do, in this case, McCain. I consider Giuliani out of the running at this point.

JMHO, of course. Overall, a sad day for conservatives.
